Synthetic Sanctuary
Synthetic Sanctuary becomes a model of the contemporary world, where sterility defines the conditions of existence, control sustains it, and safety emerges as the result of this interaction.
Within this space, the body exists simultaneously as a shell, an exhibit, and a carrier of memory — a form that has survived the humanist center and continues to exist in a transformed state.
Here, Kryvych reflects on a fundamental question: what makes the living truly alive? The space echoes her childhood desire for absolute order:
“As a child, I was one of those children who would tear pages out of notebooks because of a single mistake. I could not tolerate stains, corrections, or uneven lines. My notebooks were always thin.”
In this project, art history operates not as a quotation but as an optical lens through which the present can be read.
Project Architecture
Synthetic Sanctuary is an artificial environment that imitates a space of restoration. Within it, sterility becomes a new form of safety, while bodies and models exist inside a controlled ecosystem built without chaos, accident, or pain.
It is a sanctuary where life survives only in its synthetic form.
ROOMS / CHAMBERS
These spaces merge reflections on the body, sensation, and social structures. They explore how care, safety, and order shape human experience — and how an artificial ecosystem might become a new biosphere for our sensory and social impulses.
MENU / INTAKE STATION
In the menu of the Synthetic Sanctuary, meat is not merely a still life. It becomes a symbol of contemporary consumption and a metaphor for social, bodily, and cultural processes.
MENAGERIE
A sanctuary without fauna.
Instead of animals, synthetic forms preserve only the aesthetic shell of “wild nature.”
This section explores the idea of nature that now exists primarily as reconstruction, archive, or decorative symbol.
Project Components
The project consists of:
• 20 paintings
• 9 ceramic works
• 1 interactive art object
